Hiro wants us to talk about how to fix /v/. We've heard splitting the board, increased moderation, clarifying the rules, banning e-celeb threads, and many others

If you think he understands 4chan you're wrong.

He ran 2ch, the 300 board website full of duplicate boards so that trips could have their drama without having bump elbows with each other's egos. That's what he thinks is acceptable.

That's what he'll make here if he doesn't learn better.

disband /vr/ and /vp/
create a Nintendo board, this board would also count classic games that were on Nintendo consoles like Megaman and Banjo. but regular /v/ its still okay to talk about them

>>315353095
Splitting the boards just drives the quality of /v/ down further, this place is a disaster area after vg and vr.
>>
Can we just sticky this or something? This is the fourth or fifth iteration of this thread tonight, obviously its a hot topic and the fact that previous posts are going to be lost in the old threads and the same people from said threads are just going to keep posting the same statements in the new threads means its going to keep hitting the bump limit.

How about instead, you go to a website that has identification and better suits your wants, rather than forcefully changing a place.

There are non-Nintendo retro games that get discussed on /vr/ too. Leaving them on /v/ would be unfair for them since they're pretty good posters. Also /vr/ talks a lot about buying old hardware or emulation, which isn't limited to Nintendo only.

This is a stupid idea. Splitting /v/ is NEVER good.

We are in such a shitty place because we're all split.

Thread ID is necessary.

Consider that people who are against thread IDs are one of the following two types of people.

1.) People who just want to be deceptive, impersonate another user in the thread, samefag etc. Basically just exploiting anonymity to do something shitty.

2.) People who post an OP or post which is a perfect set up for a 'witty' comeback reply that they write themselves and then post it on r/4chan for le ebin karma. Thread IDs derails this gravy train.

Decrease moderation on threads that do involve video games (allow Hunger Game threads, stop banning/warning people for SFW pictures of video game characters just because they're anthro, allow both husbando and waifu threads)
Increase moderation on threads that dont involve video games (threads that bait with pictures of porn stars, JAV, flavor of the month anime waifus, threads where the picture is very clearly more interesting than the text and not vidya)

can't fix this board it will always be shit, always has. This is /v/.

Create a fucking /waifu/ board so these fuckers can be in one place to circle jerk/ERP/Image dump and all that obnoxious shit, cause fucking /a/, /c/, /h/, /vg/ etc aren't enough for these faggots and I get tired of them invading a actual discussion threads with their shit

I don't think IDs are the way to go here guys, nor do I think we need to split up /v/. And of course, re-allowing dubs will just reopen another type of shitposting. All /v/ needs is hardcore moderation - the people posting "what did he mean by this," undercover porn threads, etc. just need to be fucking put down.

Thread IDs.
Definitely do NOT split /v/ again.
Enforce duplicate thread closing. (We don't need 3 halo 5 threads and 2 undertale threads, etc.)

There, /v/ is fine.
>>
>>315353095
The notion of splitting /v/ hasn't fucking worked. It's the only board that's /b/-tier in volume (probably over /b/ some days), but unlike /b/ actually has a pretty constrained array of topics.

The rules are fine, the number of boards is fine. We just need more, and better, mods.

Humanity may be changing its mind about the homosexual menace to society, but filthy fucking furries will NEVER be acceptable

there'll be less traffic on both and shitposting will occur only by console warfags

These don't involve video games.

They do involve characters, but it's not even about discussing the characters.

They all have only been here for 2 years after coming for reddit, it can't be helped. Lurking doesn't exist in a board like /v/ anymore and they think their word is law and because they outnumber people who actually were here they carry more weight because mods don't give a shit anymore.

much more heavy handed moderation. this place went to shit when the /b/tards migrated long ago and got away with posting non video game related things.

Even a temporary identity still accumulates baggage.

I don't always say the smartest shit, or maybe some anon picks a fight with me, and it's nice to be able to leave that behind and have calm discussions later in the thread.

And let's be honest. Thread ID is about as debilitating as bans. The dedicated shit posters would simply reset their routers/use phones. Bans still are obnoxious to us VPN users though.

THERE IT IS!

You want to "call people out" who say things you don't like. That's why you want IDs. You want to be able to pin down and ridicule the posters you don't like. You want accountability in a place based around the lack of accountability.

Get the fuck back to Reddit.

THE VIDYA AMENDMENT OF 2015

Instead of adding thread IDs, only OPs have IDs. OP IDs follow OPs through their entire /v/ life. Meaning that if an OP makes one topic and ten minutes later that same OP makes another topic, those OPs will have the same IDs and this will allow you to find out who is the OP of the same two or more threads.

One of the major consequences of IDs is that they don't actually prevent samefagging

If anything, it just gives people with dynamic IPs or mobile devices (also see: Ban Evaders) a greater advantage over other posters by starting threads, and then changing IDs so that no one calls them out on samefagging their own threads.

It's an extremely effective technique.
IDs don't provide anything other than a false sense of security. The people who are truly shitting up the board will be able to continue what they're doing, but won't be called out on it.

/v/ is an imageboard where there are no exact reposts.

1. If you attempt to post something unoriginal, it is not posted, and you are muted temporarily.
2. The time with which you are muted for doubles with each transgression.
3. Each mute time is 2^n in seconds where n is the number of times you have transgressed. So, your mute time doubles each time you fuck up.
4. Backlinks, eg>>1, are not viewed by the robot. So "lolwut" and ">>2lolwut" are the same post, in the eyes of the robot.
5. Gibberish at the end of a post to force originality may result in mod intervention (no BLOX posts please).
6. Images areNOTincluded in the filter, only text.
7. Your mute count slowly decreases over time.
8. You cannot post a picture without text.
9. Unicode is blocked. Sorry, too many exploits (Cyrillic letters, etc).
10. Posts require a certain minimum amount of original content in order to be posted.
11. Post sane, real content, well thought out replies, and mutes are unlikely.
12. The original algorithm was designed by XKCD:

It's funny that this is always the reply.

I love this board. I want it to stand on it's own feet as a place where people can have a decent discussion about vidya without the thread instantly getting pushed off the front page by bullshit.


There are plenty of redditors and neofaggots here who go to those sites for their 'serious' discussion, then come here to shitpost, samefag, and basically use /v/ as their toilet when they want to blow off some steam and say shit that will get them banned elsewhere.

You're the kind of people who complain about this place being overrun with redditors, but you're basically enabling that to happen. You probably make posts about how the board is going downhill, while opposing anything that could actually clean this place up a bit.

If you want this board to just be video game themed /b/, then don't be surprised when reddit retards show up and actually treat it as such.

You guys are strawmanning so hard it's stupid.

1) I've been here since '07.
2) /b/ has thread id's, and there's still no account system on 4chan.
3) Let's talk theory here. Most people wouldn't shitpost as much if they had a thread ID, since everyone could point out that a specific person was being a shitposter and ignore their posts.

Saying thread id's are like "le Reddit" is absolutely silly. People don't want to be held accountable for shit-posting, but that's the whole reason we're talking about changing /v/, to get rid of shitposting.

Please debate this.

actually it does. Automated spamming doesn't happen under the captcha system. Thread id doesn't prevent samefagging, it just gives samefags the benifit of having multiple IDs.

I do agree though, it's fun. Keep it on /b/, the board for random things. They should have a place on 4chan, that's the place. There isn't an argument that makes sense to encourage it on /v/ as opposed to /b/.

>/co/ has them all the time. And they dont care. Nobody complains about it. And they have FUN.

The problem with these are that many of them actually play games and host gaming content, so they have just enough relevance to not be instantly deleted.

the fact that you even posted that just proves that nothing you say should be taken seriously
>>
You all don't understand. /v/ is beyond saving. Video games in general are mostly enjoyed by kids/teenagers, autistic manchildren or SJWs. Because of this, /v/ ends up being a melting pot for all three of these types of people, which leads to endless shitflinging and barely any actual discussion. As well as this, video games are pretty accessible/popular as a hobby, so the board receives a lot of traffic. Combine these two together and you end up with a board where only shitposting threads can thrive. Actual discussion threads get pushed off the catalog very quickly.

The only way to "fix" /v/ is by salvaging certain parts of the /v/ community that want to have proper discussion and give them their own board. But even when you do that, the other boards end up being slow. Even these boards don't actually fix /v/ since the retards on /v/ say "hurr I'm not going to use a containment board" and continue to shitpost here when the thread could have succeeded on a more relevant board.

Perhaps expanding /vp/ into /vnin/ will be an improvement (it will also remove some of the console wars on /v/) but ultimately the board is doomed forever.

Thread IDs for three or so months, see how it went, remove them if /v/ got worse

There's really not much else we could even try. Making new boards wouldn't help because /v/ would still be /v/ (see all the previous new boards), removing /v/ entirely and splitting it into different console boards wouldn't solve anything either because shitposters gonna shitpost regardless.

You use another site for your 'serious' discussion and then come here purely to shitpost. You are the lowest common denominator moron who sees anonymity and just thinks 'hey I can use this to act like a retard'

You're a dumb faggot. Splitting the board is necessary because of the amount of traffic /v/ gets. It's nearly unmoderatable because of the speed of shitposting requires a bunch of moderators and janitors to be watching over the board 24/7.

/v/ has beene slowly, very slowly, getting better. What it needs now is thread IDs so that shitposters and dumbass faggots can get called out on it.

It's either that or turn /v/ into Videogames - Random and start slapping some other boards where you can get quality discussions going beyond e-celeb cancer. And if you do that, bring back dubs because why the fuck not. I would recommend a board for indie games, update /vr/ to include the sixth generation (because the PS2 is fucking 15 years old, it's 'retro' now) and maybe something for consoles and pcs but we all know that would just fuel inter-board shitposting.

Well anon, you sure are providing some real hard data on that.

It doesn't matter. The only reason to add IDs is to give this site a "call out" system. "Hey look, you said then, and then you said this!"

It goes against what this site is intended for. If you see someone shitposting, just report. If there are problems on that end, then it's a matter of moderation, not the anonymity of this site.

I don't feel /v/ can be improved much beyond the userbase's general mentality, so maybe elements that facilitate undesirable behaviours should be removed or changed. I don't think the board needs to be split. e-celebs should just be contained in /vg/ as each general keeps to itself anyway. Clarifying the rules sounds like the way to go. For example: console/PC wars are conducive to shitposting, so threads with those themes should be against the rules.

>>315353095
/v/'s problem is an attitude one with its users. Particularly it's a sour grapes problem. You probably know what that is, but to remind you, what the fuck DOES sour grapes mean? It's when you shit on something you don't have to try to convince yourself that you didn't need it anyway. This extends to consoles, games, and types of games, not just in whether you plowed money into it but how much time does it require, is it worth that time vs some other game. By doing this kind of arguing in a public space, fellow bunches of sour grapes can unite to make their effect stronger than they would have felt pondering these things solo.

At the same time, the people who have invested either time or money (or both) into something can be biased in favor of defending it. That's called post-purchase rationalization. So, when a sour grapes butts heads with a post-purchase rationalize-r, atomic flames of shit and autism erupt and that is what /v/ is. Because there are so many various avenues that set sour grapes on a collision course with post-purchase rationalize-rs, it's impossible to stop all of it by just one split. It would actually take 6 or 7 splits to hit all the major sticking points, which would at the same time completely annihilate /v/. Some people here might think that would be a good thing, but at the same time if there is no other side around to plant seeds of doubt, we'd soon wind up with a bunch of shitty hugboxes. Which is basically what leddit is. So no, no more splits.

Mods can't force people here to stop doing this shit either, because being argumentative doesn't break any rules. So basically I think the most that could be done is to clamp down on the major collision points as they pop up. Console wars, console vs pc, east vs west etc, just watch any of those threads closely and delete people being irrationally for or against it (pick the grapes). Sounds like common fucking sense, but somehow /v/ has had a lack of that approach for many years.

Building a reputation for a single thread is still building a reputation. It also doesn't improve board's period.

Literally the main draw and reason for 4chan even being is for anonymity. Real anonymity. Not this ID shit, even for individual threads.

Stop saying anonymity isn't an argument when it's what 4chan is based on. People can come and go as they please, yeah there's a bunch of shitposters, but those can easily be ignored. Giving people ID's isn't going to stop them.

You take both the good and bad that comes without having ANY form of ID. There's tons of shit, but there's also good discussions as well.

While it may be used to invalidate your opinions by using your previous posts in the thread it's not where near as annoying as a reddit system or board wide system.

No you fucking retard, people are allowed to post and say whatever they want on 4chan as long as it's not against the rules.

Better moderation desu.

That doesn't mean more moderation, it just means better.

Some of the off topic threads or threads that were lightly about vidya were she of the best threads on /v/. Nobody posts stories threads, glitch stories, or things like that because the mods even ban that.

Ocean threads, space threads, vidya ideas threads, mineral thread, fucking Ito threads, punisher dumps, that kid or threads like that. All gone.

Threads about vidya which devolve into off topic posting that ends up far better than the thread are pretty based as well. If it's not just shitposting, there's no reason to be a complete autist.

And if you can delete everything fun within a few minutes, there is absolutely no fucking excuse that clear bait, console wars, and blatant shitposting is able to stay up for more than a few posts.

As it turns out, getting rid of fun things kills the board and turns it into endless shitposting.

A lot of /v/ would be better if /vr/ was merge back with /v/, although I like /vr/ so that would kind of kill my fun. Mods also need to set their priorities straight, what was one of the reasons that killed /v/ culture was mods not setting their priorities straight and deleting at random with no rhyme or reason. They focus too much on off topic threads such as gamer fuel threads but on topic shitposting usually gets a pass as well as numerous twitter threads. Off topic isn't inherently a bad thing because it creates board identity and was why /v/ was so great back in the day because of how not policed it was. Everything else is in the community itself's hands.

>>Why is samefagging a problem?

But why IS samefagging a problem? Sometimes I post an open question about opinions on a game and a few people respond then I post my own response as "a different anon". I should get banned, right?

Samefagging is not the same thing as shitposting unless you're shitposting with it, and if you're shitposting, you should get banned because you're fucking shitposting, not just samefagging.

/v/ did slow down when the /vg/ split happened. Without it /v/ would be completely bloated and nearly twice as populated as the next largest board.

No, each ID will be grouped together with all your other posts in that thread. Like how people search through "Other posts by this user" on forums. it's restrictive.

But if they're shitposting as it is, then you should be able to know to report them anyways.

if they're not shitposting when samefagging, why would they need to be banned when they're not posting anything bad?

You just want to track down people you disagree with to hound them. You're a shitposter and a bully.

>>315357794
Okay, but this is 4chan, not a porn website. The boards will only lose traffic if they were repeatedly split up in such a way. If you're too much of a pissbaby to handle seeing things you don't want to see, then tough shit. This is the video game board for discussing video games of all genres. /vg/ makes sense. /vp/ makes sense. /vr/ is iffy, the best discussion of retro games happens on a more active place like /v/ since /vr/ is fucking dead most of the time.

Splitting up Japanese and American games doesn't make sense and doesn't serve any purpose besides sheltering babbies from trivial things that trigger them.

It's not a detterent at all, in some ways it encourages shitposting from those who can get away with it under the ID system. The problems he brought up do not exist right now, seeing as it's currently impossible to prove or disprove samefag. (You) screenshots can be photoshoped, post timers can be circumvented. There is nothing the IDs will do to help the issue of samefagging. Ids do in fact have drawbacks, it lets people with multuiple IPs samefag under the guise of being two different people. You literally can't call out an actual samefag

Just ban the latter.

We might as well have a sticky announcing sanctioned shitposting generals. A designated console war thread, designated anti nintendo or sony or MS threads etc.

This is what it seems like fucking half of /v/ comes here to talk about all day long, so if we can contain those people into their own shitboxes (which would inevitably attract the people who want to seek out the haters and whiteknight [game/console/genre], then hopefully they'd at least somewhat cancel each other out from leaking into at least half of all the threads on /v/.

Maybe that's about the best we can do short of splitting the board more (which is a terrible idea for many reasons). IDs wouldn't solve jack shit; if you are talking to someone who is really fucking opposed you in some way, he's still going to be just as vicious whether he knows it's still you or not.

It's already banned and look how well it's working.

>intentionally derailing discussions and shitposting is bad

But intentionally derailing discussions and shitposting, is intentionally derailing discussions and shitposting. Not samefagging. Why is samefagging always = shitposting to you?

>>315359385

Why not just report posts that are obvious flame bait or shitty arguments? The mods can see the IPs and see if they're samefaging themselves. That also sounds very situational - you'd be bringing in tons of garbage that IDs bring in just because you hated some shitty thread debate that happened, that you don't even know if they were actually the same person or not.

Just burn it.

There's nothing to rebut there fuccboi

>>315358468
That's a lot of jumping to conclusions you did there. I already gave you a whole list of shit that user ID's can help curtail, if you want to keep ignoring that fine, go ahead.

>>315358521
Samefagging is often employed in the service of shitposting. If you want to talk to yourself in a thread go right ahead.

>>315358929
There will always be ways around systems. The persistent shitposters will continue to do so, but it will stop SOME of them from doing so. That's an improvement already.

Everyone will be aware that one person getting multiple ID's is possible, and I'm sure accusations will still fly about two different ID's being samefags, but what will be caught by ID's is the shitposters too lazy to change ID's. Adding hurdles to shitposting is always a good thing.

>>315359154
All of which are issues that /v/ constantly deals with
>>
>>315358465
Each of those topics have a single board detecated to them. The reality of the situation is you don't need more than 4 different board just to talk about video games.
>>
>>315359513
That's because mods don't do their job.

Often, not always.

]They don't curtail anything when mods aren't there to enforce your reports anyways, you wannabe janitor

Samefagging by definition is usually the act of responding to yourself while pretending to be someone else.

It is banworthy because its abusing the anonymity of the place.
It can and is abused to astroturf, pretending to be more people to fake the consensus, insincere shit like faking interest and other types of bullshit.

Samefagging is usually defined by having some malicious intent behind it.

IDs dont bring in any garbage.
At the same time samefaggots are one of the biggest issues with the site.
If anything the downsides of IDs are very situational.

>>315353095
>We've heard splitting the board
Terrible idea. Splitting the board would only create more issues, not solve the existing ones.

>increased moderation
Yes, this is a good first step.

clarifying the rules
I would of hoped this wouldn't be necessary, but it's probably needed as well.

>banning e-celeb threads
This should of been done ages ago, there's no reason why e-celebs should be allowed on this board.

>and many others
The only thing I have to say is that I am against thread ID's. They're incredibly useful, but they go against the nature of the site.
>>
>>315359539
I do report posts as it stands, but its obviously not doing enough. People want to have their fun, whatever let them, but when for hours the entire board is more or less non functioning thanks to it, there's a problem that needs extra measures to address it. If the solution are ID's to allow for posters to more easily self moderate, I don't see why it isn't worth a try.
>>
>>315359625
>All of which are issues that /v/ constantly deals with
None of which IDs actually solves, and some which are made even worse by it. Muh samefagging.

>>315359571
F-F-F-F-FREAKOUT!

> but its obviously not doing enough

because no mods. It doesn't matter how much restrictions and watches you put on the posters.

If IDs are so great why is /pol/ one of the most shitpost garbage filled boards on the site?
>>
>>315358003
The only way to keep your thread alive even if it's on topic is to samefag it until enough people actually enter the discussion to talk about it. If not it's a race to page 10.

>>315359362
putting words in my mouth there

>>315359828
Removing the core concept of the very site you use to compensate for laziness is hardly the answer. It's up to watchful mods to improve the site rather than transforming each thread into it's own subreddit.
